DD Electronics is not just a shop in Singapore selling grey sets. They have branches in Australia and USA. So if you claim warranty, they will oblige and best of all 30 days 1to1 exchange no question asked. :cool:

In low humidity countries (not only in airplanes) there's plenty of static. If you don't ground yourself, there's a possibility of attracting dust whether on yourself or the gear you hold. Just to share: we often hear advice that airplane cabin can be very dry. Drink plenty of liquid etc. Don't...

Alamak!!! $50 only for the assignment even if it is a simple snapshot. Not trying to say cheapskate. You pay peanuts and you get monkeys. Come on...give some respect to the budding photographer who wish to take the assignment. I paid a photographer $300 to take my family's Christmas...

In terms of Engineering design, both have its pros and cons. Nikon spent more time and effort in ensuring its DSLR takes into account handling ergonomics which explains why the buttons and dials are in the right places. There is of course a small percentage of palms that are too big or too small...

Not exactly sure what you mean by the words in bold. Basically, Pro or not, they usually take photos using 400mm lens with 2x converter for the extra reach to take birds. Some may invest in 600mm or 800mm lens just for birding. :cool:

Yup Bro...we know that. But we are sharing about low RH23% on the aeroplanes. As long as the RH is lower than the surrounding, it will impede fungus growth but will not totally eradicate it. In Perth the RH is hovering around 30%, mildew still managed to grow around the house. In Singapore the...

Bro...you are making me "gian" already. I am a simple man with simple gears but now want that super duper gear you recommend. :bsmilie:

Not lousy...at first see no photo so how to comment. But our kind Bro link it up for you so now we can see. First off...you picture lack contrast. Some highlights while retaining the dark areas would bring out the subject. Framing and composition is not there. Need to work on it. Example #1...

I used an entry level D60 with no weather sealing at -14°C in US without problem. My only problem is my fingers froze. Your's should be ok.:cool:

Not sounding cocky to you but I would personally recommend to you TK photo. They stock everything on Sirui and they would love to assist you in your quest. One of our moderators often frequent that shop and the service is quite good. :angel:

Yup we know you're a newbie...welcome to CS. It's basically practise, practise and more practise. But don't practise with the same setting or you won't be learning anything. Experimentation and see the difference. Join us in group outing specially organised with newbies in mind. :cool:

Seriously Bro...if it isn't affecting your shots then you shouldn't mind too much. I have a piece of insect leg stuck to my view finder too. I couldn't remove it no matter what I did. Since it didn't affect my shots I didn't give a hoot. :cool:

Grey set means it is still an original but authorised to sell in other countries other than Singapore. To discourage you from buying a grey set because the retailer here won't earn your money, the agent will not recognise your 1st year warranty. After the one year warranty ends, they will...

I was 5 hours into my flight and was so bored that I took out the hygrometer to have a look and I was shocked by the low numbers. I suppose it could have got lower as the time goes on but I finally napped all the way to San Francisco. Your contribution on airplanes are an interesting read and I...

Did I miss anything? VirtualDub cannot run on my Mac. On the other note, I think TS has made a very good attempt on this technique which I'm trying to perfect for a long time. :cool:
